GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EVAL-RS485HDEBZ, EVAL-RS485FD8EBZ, and
Figure 2.
EVAL-RS485FDEBZ allow quick and easy evaluation of RS-485
transceivers with standard SOIC footprints. The evaluation EVAL-RS485FDEBZ
board allows all of the input and output functions to be
exercised without the need for external components. Screw
terminal blocks provide convenient connections for power and
ground, digital I/O, and RS-485 signals.
The EVAL-RS485HDEBZ evaluation board has a footprint for
a half-duplex RS-485 transceiver in an 8-lead SOIC package.
The EVAL-RS485FD8EBZ evaluation board has a footprint for
a full-duplex RS-485 transceiver in an 8-lead SOIC package.
The EVAL-RS485FDEBZ evaluation board has a footprint for a
